Becoming a parent can bring more than you expected — sometimes joy alongside overwhelm, fear, or a sense of being disconnected from yourself. A difficult pregnancy, birth, or early postpartum experience doesn't just stay in the past — it can shape how safe you feel in your body, how you bond with your baby, and how able you feel to trust yourself as a parent. If that sounds familiar, you don't have to carry it alone.

I'm Kris, and I support parents to recover from perinatal trauma and to manage anxiety and low mood, so they can feel more like themselves again — and more able to enjoy their journey into parenthood.

My path here has been shaped by years of working alongside parents in many different ways — as an antenatal teacher, breastfeeding counsellor, birth doula, and advocate. That experience taught me how differently trauma and distress can show up for each parent, and how important it is to be met exactly where you are.

I now work as a perinatal hypnotherapist, using hypnosis, meditation, and mindfulness to help you build calm, process what's happened, and reconnect with your own sense of confidence and wellbeing. My approach is solution-focused — we work with where you are right now, towards the goals that matter to you.

Our first session together is 90 minutes, giving us time to explore what's brought you here and what you'd like support with. Subsequent sessions are 60–90 minutes, as needed.

I offer sessions on a sliding scale using the Green Bottle Method — £75, £52, or £29 depending on your economic circumstances, so cost needn't be a barrier. I also work through The Birth Republic CIC, where you may be eligible for fully funded support if you're pregnant or have a child up to age two.

If any of this resonates, I'd be glad to hear from you — please get in touch to find out more or arrange a first conversation.
